The query string doesn't have anything binary, and the call doesn't work. I get a syntax error right before the semicolon. This is my query string: INSERT INTO micromodels (name, revision, dynamic, m_class, novars, equation, min_0, min_1, min_2, min_3, min_4, min_5, min_6, min_7, min_8, max_0, max_1, max_2, max_3, max_4, max_5, max_6, max_7, max_8, except_0, except_1, except_2, except_3, except_4, except_5, except_6, except_7, except_8, prompt_0, prompt_1, prompt_2, prompt_3, prompt_4, prompt_5, prompt_6, prompt_7, prompt_8, allow_0, allow_1, allow_2, allow_3, allow_4, allow_5, allow_6) VALUES ('Eye Movement Time',1,NULL,'per',0,'.1;',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,1); And I get this error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ' '1.' at line 10 Kind of weird. I tried upping the strlen by 1, and that didn't work either.
